About Us - FreshMart Local

Our Story

Family-Owned, Community-Focused

FreshMart Local began as a small family dream in 2003 when the Martinez family decided to bring fresh, quality groceries to their neighborhood. What started as a modest corner store has grown into a beloved community hub while maintaining our commitment to personal service and local sourcing.

Over 20 years later, we're still family-owned and operated, serving multiple generations of customers who have become like family to us. Our mission remains simple: provide the freshest products, support local suppliers, and treat every customer like a neighbor.

We believe that a grocery store should be more than just a place to shop—it should be a cornerstone of the community where relationships are built and maintained.
